Dark Nights ✔️

Chapter Fourty-Two

It was finally Thelma birth month and there had been a lot doing around the house... I was also ready to propose to her... I got the ring ready and was planning a vacation to London where I'd propose to her... I was really happy we were together.

"Jerry... we don't travel until tomorrow why you so eager for us to go anyways?" She asked me with a funny look on her face.

"Nothing I just want us to get out of Nigeria for awhile you know...Get a breather from all these." I said with a big grin on my face. Our luggage were already packed for us and we were set to travel along with Hannah of course.. my intentions actually was for us to relocate there and get married but Thelma was already attached to her restaurant so she insisted on returning back to Nigeria.

"Well we'll be in London for three weeks that's enough time to breathe don't you think? So lemme have my peace o." She joked again as she adjusted herself on the couch her tummy was already big but the doctor said she couldn't give birth yet until another two weeks.

"Alright alright... relax all you want but when we get to the UK, you're all mine." I said with a smirk on my face.

I had successfully ignored and avoid Bunmi ever since that incident at her place and even though she tried talking to me, I never gave her the chance to see me which was why I wanted us to leave Nigeria as soon as possible and be rest assured so I could tell her after she gave birth.

"Are you excited Princess?" I asked Hannah as we got to into the plane...I knew she was excited and so was Thelma.

"Yes daddy! Yes." Hannah yelled as jumping a bit as got to our seats. I got us first class tickets so I wanted the best comfort for the love of my life's.

"Jerry... Do you still have those chips from the airport?" Thelma asked as she got seated beside me. I searched my pockets but couldn't find anymore I must've kept them in the luggage.

"Ah shoot. They're in my luggage. You'll eat them when we land." I said as she nodded and we all got prepared for the flight.

"Here hold this for me." She said and passed me her phone as I unlocked it and went through her chats. All but one of the message seemed weird and it was from Bunmi. That wasn't gonna be anything good I could tell.

I noticed she had not opened the message yet which I did and it was a video.. oh my God was Bunmi serious to do this? I tried deleting it but there no was more network on her phone which really got me uneasy now.

"Anything wrong?" She asked. She must've noticed my switch in mood. What do I do now?

"Uh it's nothing don't worry about it. Let me hold onto your phone for the meantime just try and relax." I said with a fake smile but she heeded and closed her eyes to take a nap.

Hannah gripped my hands as the plane started moving... she does this whenever we were about to takeoff of land and it was cute every-time she did but right now what was in my mind was how to tell Thelma what happened between I and Bunmi.

"Don't worry baby... I'm here." I said and squeezed her hands gently with my other hand as I laid my head back to think.

It took awhile before we got to London but we eventually did and Hannah was the most excited of us all... it's not like this was her first time here but she was ecstatic.

We got to my apartment there and they both got settled down but I hurried off to put on the WiFi so I could access Thelma's phone and delete the stupid video Bunmi sent.
"Jerry, where's my phone?" Thelma called while she looked around the house for me.
"Uh I'm coming. I kept it in my bag somewhere. Let's settle down first." I said with a fake laugh and walked out the house.

"Lemme head off to get some groceries." I said and quickly called for a cab. It was quite cold here but that was the least of my problems.

Thelma's POV
Jerry had been acting strange throughout our journey here and I couldn't pinpoint what exactly was bothering me. I tried to not think too much about it since that was what he advised but we finally got to London but it seemed like Jerry's mind was still back in Lagos and that bothered me.

"I'm hungry." Hannah cried as she sat beside me on the sofa.

I was also hungry and Jerry hadn't still given me the chips I asked him for. He said he was going grocery shopping so I had to cook up something for I and Hannah in the meantime.

"What do you wanna eat baby? Let's have a look at what's in my bag."

"Uh anything really. I'm just really hungry." She cried as I laughed a bit and went in to search my luggage. I brought along with me some African dish which I was going to eat while my stay here... "Uh Hannah we have good o ofada rice here. Should I prepare that for you?"

"Yes." She said with a big grin as I took out the neatly packed Ofada rice from the bag and went to the kitchen to make it before Jeremy got home.

**
Jerry finally arrived back after almost an hour which was annoying but I already made Rice for I and Hannah so I wasn't bothered much.

"Hey... I'm sorry I took forever. Traffic."

"Traffic? Jerry this isn't Nigeria you can't use the traffic excuse on me here." I said as I crossed my hands in anger. He better have a good explanation.

"I'm sorry. It's just that it's been a long time since I was here last. And you know I had history with Bunmi here in London so everything was just a rush and I needed a breather. I'm sorry but anyways I got groceries." He said and waved a fully stocked grocery bag on my face.

"You should've just said that instead of acting like a complete psycho throughout today." I said and grabbed one of the bags from his hand as we both headed to the kitchen to arrange them.

London seemed like a good place to give birth and I was excited I was here with Jerry and Hannah. What could possibly go wrong?
